Given the size of the commit log, I would have been surprised of the
opposite! ;-)

The archive is not very big by today's standard: 39MiB. But the site is
really slow, which makes it look like it is bigger than it really is...

Grabbing from the github mirror gives a smaller archive, but more
importantly, it downloads at very high speed.

And since we then only download the strictly minimal set of sounds, we
grab only about 17MiB from asterisk.org instead of 39MiB, which makes
the download at least twice as fast.

Not that I can think of. The sentence is gramatically equivalent to:

    [it] concludes that all such functions, of which res_nsearch(),
    are available.

except the the part 'of which res_nsearch()' has been relegated to the
end of the sentence, as a mean for it to stand out.

noone is internet slang from the good ol' days. Seems the young ones
nowadays no longer recognise it! ;-) I'll fix.

Probably, yes.

Thanks for the review! :-)
